La Vuelta

Interesting to note that Sky have selected Richie Porte to ride in the USA Pro Challenge and will miss La Vuelta. Everyone thought he would be rewarded for his efforts in the Tour de France by leading the team in Spain.

Chris Froome is also going to the US race so maybe Bradley Wiggins has pulled rank and will lead the team in Spain. He seems to be going well in the Eneco Tour.

Wiggins is way off his target weight for a grand tour after bulking up for the Worlds Time Trial in September. TBH I don't know whether Wiggins has another grand tour win in him.

Last years tour was perfect for him. I doubt he'll be that lucky again. Lot of contrasting news pieces about him. Some saying he doesnt want the pressure of grand tours and now seemingly accepting role of domestique. If he wants to stick with.the classics then.great but if he wants to win grand tours he'll have to leave sky.
